Cassondra Eng
Adjunct Lecturer, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences - Interdisciplinary Brain Sciences
BioDr. Cassondra (Cassie) Eng is an NIH-funded T32 Postdoctoral Scholar in Sports Neuroscience at Stanford University’s Center for Interdisciplinary Brain Sciences Research (CIBSR). Her research focuses on optimizing immersive interventions that promote neurological, cognitive, and physical health outcomes. Dr. Eng investigates attentional processes in technologically enhanced contexts, with an emphasis on the brain-behavior mechanisms that drive differential outcomes. She specializes in using mobile functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), a modern neuroimaging technique that is noninvasive, wearable, and allows for full mobility in naturalistic settings—making it ideal for studying human behavior in ecologically relevant settings.
Dr. Eng programs exercise-based interventions using game engines to enhance participant engagement and data automation, supplementing neurocognitive assessments with physiological measures across populations from childhood to adulthood. Her work incorporates task-based and clinical norm-referenced assessments of cognition, quantitative and qualitative assessments of learning in VR/XR contexts, eye tracking, EEG, cardiovascular measures related to performance and stress, and data analysis techniques using mixed-effects modeling, multivariate analysis, and longitudinal data analysis.
Dr. Eng earned her Ph.D. in Cognitive Neuroscience and Developmental Psychology from Carnegie Mellon University, where she also received a Program for Interdisciplinary Education Research (PIER) Certification through the Institute of Education Sciences. Her work specializes in educational neuroscience, an interdisciplinary field bridging cognitive science, psychology, educational technology, human-computer interaction, computer science, and related disciplines to identify optimal learning contexts that support brain development and cognitive skills essential for overall well-being and health. -

(Symbolic Systems) and M.S. (Computer Science) from Stanford University and her PhD from UC Berkeley (EECS) advised my Prof. Michael I Jordan. She was a postdoctoral fellow with Prof. Matthew Stephens at the University of Chicago. She was an Assistant Professor at Duke University from 2011-2014, and an Assistant, Associate, and then Full Professor at Princeton University in Computer Science from 2014-2022. She has worked at Jet Propulsion Labs, Google Research, 23andMe, and Genomics plc. In her career, she received an NSF GRFP, the Google Anita Borg Scholarship, the SMBE Walter M. Fitch Prize (2004), a Sloan Faculty Fellowship, an NSF CAREER, and the ISCB Overton Prize (2021). Her research is focused on developing and applying models for structured biomedical data that capture patterns in the data, predict results of interventions to the system, assist with decision-making support, and prioritize experiments for design and engineering of biological systems.

Jesse Engreitz
Assistant Professor of Genetics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsRegulatory elements in the human genome harbor thousands of genetic risk variants for common diseases and could reveal targets for therapeutics — if only we could map the complex regulatory wiring that connects 2 million regulatory elements with 21,000 genes in thousands of cell types in the human body.
We combine experimental and computational genomics, biochemistry, molecular biology, and genetics to assemble regulatory maps of the human genome and uncover biological mechanisms of disease. -
Daniel Bruce Ennis
Professor of Radiology (Veterans Affairs) and, by courtesy, of Bioengineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe Cardiac MRI Group seeks to invent and validate methods to quantify cardiac performance. We develop methods to measure cardiac structure (DWI/DTI), function (tagging and DENSE), flow (PC-MRI), and remodeling (diffusion, T1-mapping, fat-water mapping) for pediatrics and adults.
Fundamental to our research is a set of tools for numerically optimizing gradient waveforms, Bloch simulations, and patient-specific 3D-printed cardiovascular structures connected to computer controlled flow pumps. -

Ahmet Görkem Er
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiology
BioAhmet Görkem Er, M.D., Ph.D., is a physician-scientist and postdoctoral fellow in Integrative Biomedical Imaging Informatics (IBIIS) at Stanford University. He graduated from Istanbul University Faculty of Medicine and completed dual residency training in internal medicine and infectious diseases and clinical microbiology at Hacettepe University. He also has a Ph.D. in medical informatics from Middle East Technical University.
As a Fulbright Ph.D. Dissertation Research Grantee (2022–2023), Dr. Er conducted research at the Stanford Center for Biomedical Informatics Research, focusing on multimodal data integration in COVID-19 patients. This work resulted in a publication in NPJ Digital Medicine demonstrating the value of combining clinical, imaging, and viral genomic data for improved disease modeling. He returned to Stanford in 2024 as a visiting researcher and is currently a postdoctoral fellow, where he combines his clinical background with advanced computational methods.
Dr. Er’s research focuses on developing artificial intelligence and multimodal data fusion approaches for complex diseases. His work integrates a broad spectrum of inputs, including medical imaging, histopathology, clinical data, genomics, and spatial transcriptomics, to improve patient stratification and support data-driven clinical decision-making. -

Cordelia Erickson-Davis MD PhD MPH
Clinical Assistant Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
BioDr. C. Erickson-Davis is a psychiatrist and medical anthropologist specializing in the care of patients with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), and other complex neuropsychiatric presentations. Her clinical work is grounded in a deep respect for the lived experience of illness and healing and integrates neurological, psychiatric, and sociocultural perspectives. She is committed to collaborative, trauma-informed care that honors the mind-body relationship without reduction.
Her research investigates how theories of mind and brain are shaped by social context - and how, in turn, those theories of perception shape lived experience, including in the clinic. She is developing the framework of Perception as Constitutive Intra-action (PCI) to theorize these dynamics, and is currently writing a book on the lived experience of visual prosthesis users and the history of “information” in the neurosciences, tracing how it has shaped theories, technologies, and subjective experience.
She leads the Precision Language Lab Initiative at Stanford, a space for collaborative inquiry into how lived experience, narrative, and perception can be more meaningfully integrated into the clinical neurosciences. -

Koray Ertan
Research Engineer, Rad/Radiological Sciences Laboratory
BioKoray Ertan received his B.Sc. degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Bilkent University, Turkey, where he also completed his Ph.D. under the supervision of Prof. Ergin Atalar. During his doctoral studies, he conducted research at the National Magnetic Resonance Research Center (UMRAM) in Turkey. His dissertation focused on the development of novel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technologies, including gradient array systems aimed at improving diagnostic image quality, reducing specific absorption rate (SAR), and shortening scan times.
In April 2019, he joined Prof. Brian Rutt’s group at Stanford University as a postdoctoral researcher. Shortly after, in June 2019, he was also appointed as a MINDED postdoctoral fellow. As part of the MINDED program, his research involved developing a system to modulate the permeability of the blood-brain barrier using focused radiofrequency heating from ultra-high field MRI transmit coils, with the goal of enhancing nanomedicine-based treatments for neurodevelopmental disorders.
He is currently a Research Scientist in the Radiological Sciences Laboratory at Stanford. His present work focuses on the design of next-generation head gradient coils and the analysis of peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) thresholds. He is developing a predictive framework to estimate subject-specific PNS limits using basic demographic data and localizer MRI scans, with the aim of enabling safer and more efficient MRI.
